Although this document describes the steps for a USB mouse, this also works when connected to the PS2 port. Note, however, that a Logitech MX-1000 forward and back keys are 8 and 9, and xvkbd is located in /usr/bin rather than /usr/X11R6/bin. In addition, as stated in the text, part 1.4 is unnecessary.
In newer versions of X11, it seems that evdev is a driver rather than a protocol, so you'll need the line:
Driver "evdev"
rather than
Driver "mouse" Protocol "evdev"
Also, I needed to append "SendCoreEvents" to the Logitech line in the layout section
Convert m4a to mp3
ffmpeg -ab <bitrate in kb/s> -i <inputfile> <outputfile>
Note: the error output buffer too small can be ignored.
Changing default ALSA soundcard
asoundconf list asoundconf set-default-card <cardname>
